"Impossible. They will definitely come back. If they don't, where will they sleep? They can't be so shameless as to sleep at the Lan family's house, can they?"
"They're no relatives or friends. If they really dare to do this, if they really dare to ruin my family's reputation, I'll beat them to death!"
Grandmother shuddered, but said firmly, her tone still fierce and menacing.
"All right…"
The aunt could only helplessly tighten her cotton-padded coat, as if that would make her a little warmer.
"This is outrageous! It's so late, and they're still not home. They deserve to die!!"
Grandmother still couldn't swallow her anger and kept muttering to herself while keeping a close eye on the door, not wanting to miss a single second.
Achoo... Achoo...
"Mom, I'm so cold and so sleepy..."
Zhifu rushed into her aunt's arms, her eyes brimming with tears, and spoke in a rare display of docility.
"Oh, my precious son! Come on, I can't be bothered with you anymore, Mom will take you back to sleep."
After saying that, hearing the sound of sneezing coming one after another, the eldest aunt looked at the grandmother with annoyance, "Mother, if you want to see Zhiyin make a fool of himself, you can watch it here yourself. I have to take the children back to bed."
After saying that, she didn't care what her grandmother's expression was, afraid of being scolded, and ran away as fast as she could.
Grandfather looked at Grandmother with displeasure and said, "What kind of stupid idea did you come up with? Before others could even get a chance, we've all frozen to death."
"We'll still have to spend money to see a doctor then."
"How would I know? It's the middle of the night, who would have thought that those little bitches from Zhiyin wouldn't be back? They made us stand in the cold wind all night for nothing!"
Grandmother was both aggrieved and angry, furious that Zhiyin was so unpredictable and simply awful.
Besides, it wasn't her who forced them to come. They wanted to come and watch the show themselves, but now they're blaming everything on her.
"Alright, alright, you still think it's not embarrassing? You're not going to sleep, but I am! Push me back to sleep."
Grandfather urged impatiently, "You'd better pray that no rumors start circulating outside tomorrow!"
After all, at least four or five groups of people had walked past them tonight, and each time Grandma hadn't even seen who they were before she started cursing.
Who knows, they might come knocking on our door tomorrow.
Upon hearing this, Grandmother felt extremely guilty and quickly pushed Grandfather back into the house.
Seeing that everyone was shivering and coughing incessantly, she immediately became anxious and rushed to boil ginger soup to warm them up.
In the latter half of the night, their precious son Zhifu even developed a high fever, which worried the whole family. They were all extremely anxious and couldn't sleep at all, running around trying to bring the fever down. It was quite a lively scene.
This time, even the eldest uncle couldn't help but frown and rebuke his grandmother, "Mother, you're just being ridiculous! Look what you've done to Fu'er!"
He felt heartbroken looking at Chifu lying on the bed, her face flushed and her body burning hot.
Since it was late at night and it wasn't convenient to go see Doctor Li, Auntie was currently using traditional remedies to cool Zhifu down.
As the temperature dropped, he couldn't help but mutter complaints under his breath, and he also found his grandmother particularly displeasing.
Seeing her beloved grandson like this, the grandmother felt guilty and kept shedding tears, feeling somewhat at a loss.
But when he heard his aunt's accusing tone, he still glared and retorted, "He's my own son, you took him out yourself, why blame me?"
"If you hadn't insisted on going to see the excitement, would we have gone with you?"
"Oh dear, you're blaming me now? What kind of daughter-in-law are you?"
…
In no time, the two got more and more worked up, arguing incessantly, and almost came to blows.
The eldest uncle and grandfather hurriedly tried to stop him, both feeling utterly exhausted.
Seeing that her father-in-law and husband looked unhappy, the eldest aunt dared not argue with her mother-in-law anymore. Of course, after her anger subsided, she was also afraid of being retaliated against by her mother-in-law and felt guilty for her boldness.
Seeing her grandmother's hair all disheveled from being pulled, she couldn't bear to look at her.
Instead, he kicked the door of Zhi Zhaodi's room twice, which remained silent, and shouted, "Come out! Get out here right now!"
"You good-for-nothing? Sleep, sleep, sleep! What are you sleeping for? Can't you see your brother has a fever?"
"Hurry up and fetch a basin of water! Do you wish your brother would burn to death?"
Hearing the banging on the door, Zhi Zhaodi felt wronged, but her body still reflexively got up and opened the door immediately.
"I knew you were up to no good, you good-for-nothing..."
The eldest aunt grabbed Zhi Zhaodi by the ear and yanked her out without any mercy.
"Mother...no, it hurts..."
“What pain? Can you be in as much pain as your brother? Your brother has a fever, and you, as his older sister, can still sleep. I’ve wasted my time raising you.”
…
Unlike the chaos on their side, Zhiyin, Yao Yulin, and the other two were sleeping soundly, completely unaware that their desire to watch a good show had backfired and caused them to catch a cold.
Grandmother and the others worked all night, and just as dawn was breaking, the temperature in Zhifu finally dropped, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
My grandmother had just fallen asleep when she vaguely heard shouts coming from outside.
Unable to suppress her unconscious and impatient complaints, she muttered, "Whose cat is meowing?"
After saying that, he turned over and went back to sleep.
Right at their door, Yuanyuan and Mengmeng kept shouting "hoohoohoo" and "wawawa," trying to attract the attention of their kindred spirit.
Seeing that no one came to open the door, the two tigers got a little angry and raised their arms to frantically scratch and bang on the door.
"Roar roar roar..."
'Open the door! Open the door!'
"Sister, open the door quickly...we've come to play with you!"
